High Dyanmic Range

High Dynamic Range (HDR), often explained as "seeing more like the human eye". HDR images combine several shots of the same image, over different exposures. Instead of the traditional one shot photography. The final result of a HDR image has more detail of shadows and highlights, and all the stuff between.

When I was shooting HDR images, I used a Canon camera, and shot in RAW this allowed me to get a uncompressed image, having a uncompressed image allows you to use the RAW editor for the images, however when you create a HDR using RAW you end up with a HDR Editor, this allows you to edit the photo to what you want it too look like.

I took a whole range of photo's most at daytime, a few at night time. The problem with the night time photo's is the exposure, when attempting to get a picture of something with lights in you have to set your exposure very very low, whilst still remembering you have to go 2 above and 2 below. I ended up with some very interesting HDR images from it.


I had to upload them as jpg's eventually, so that have been compressed a little bit.
